DIY Hampers: Mother's Day Gift Tags

Mother's Day is a celebration honouring mothers across the world, the maternal bonds that we all experience with others, and the influence that mothers have in society. Whether you're treating your own mum for simply being the best mum in the world, or using the opportunity of Mothering Sunday to show someone else who cares for you (maybe your gran, a neighbour, or teacher) how much you appreciate their help, you can use these gift tags to decorate some wonderful presents and create a lovely DIY hamper.

You'll Need:

• A printer
• Printer paper
• Scissors
• A hole punch
• Ribbon or string

Step One:

Download the DIY Hamper: Mother's Day Gift Tags.

Fill your printer with white A4 paper and print out the gift tags. Then you'll need to cut them out and punch a hole in the top of each tag (where the circle is marked).

Step Two:

Thread a ribbon or piece of string of your choice through the tag and tie it to your gift item or hamper basket.

If you're planning on giving a Mother's Day hamper basket to an important person in your life you can fill it with all sorts of things: a luxurious jar of chocolates, a bunch of her favourite spring flowers or photo frames with snaps of precious moments that you've shared.

You can use our pretty Mother's Day-themed gift tags to decorate your gifts, show her how much you love and appreciate her, and make your hamper that little bit more special.

Step Three:​
Once that's all done the only thing left to do is spread messages of love and thanks to all the mothers of the world!

Marshmallow Flower Cupcakes

For a simple gift from the heart, try these marshmallow flower cupcakes: Vanilla cupcakes with a buttercream icing flavoured with raspberry jam for a gorgeous and natural pink colouring but whose main attraction is the marshmallow decoration. By cutting mini marshmallows diagonally and dipping them in coloured sugar (which is easy to make yourself with food colouring) you get a lovely sparkly petal effect. Pair with a bouquet of real flowers to show your mum just how special she is.

Lancashire Elderflower Delight

This is a great recipe for Turkish (or indeed Lancastrian!) delight which would make a lovely gift in a Mother's Day hamper. If you can't get your hands on fresh elderflower, you could substitute with dried elderflower, elderflower syrup, or another flavour of your choosing. Using only sugar, water, cornflower, lemon juice and leaf gelatine you can make your very own delicious Turkish delight with a northern twist.
